Well, if you thought there are no leaders out of politics but only politicians, then to some extent you were wrong because my One on One With Buya Mukonzo Winfred a.k.a BMW proved otherwise.
In her voice, I sense clear exposure of humility, transparency, accountability and electorate-oriented leadership.
Well, join me as we unleash the Capable SOMU Organizing Secretary 2015/2016.
As I sought her audience, I started by asking her who she is.
Buya is a third year student pursuing a bachelor's degree in public health. She is a brand ambassador with 'Akili Dada' initiative; a girl child empowerement organization and she is also the founding director of 'Saidia students' initiative.
Buya denies her blood and interest in politics being genetic but admits leadership is.
"The docket of the Organizing Secretary is kind of neglected and termed as irrelevant because of the roles, but it's the exact same docket that I find crucial", said BMW.
She goes ahead to say that once sworn in as the Organizing Secretary, she will ensure transparency and accountability by documenting all the SOMU activities and the documents availed to comrades at regular intervals online.
"You know how important documents are", she pauses as she takes a sip of her glass of juice which is almost halfway. "No documents, no records equals to no accountability, no transparency, and that's where corruption begins. I want to make that straight", she adds.
Asked why she chose politics, Buya wears a wide smile on her face and says "It's the only vehicle to leadership, if there were an alternative route, I would definately use it, but I'm glad I have learnt so much through politics".
She says that her desire to see change and be part of the change is what motivates her most. (Not selfish, right?) "I Always endeavor to fix that thing that I see crooked", she states.
Politics after Maseno? Yes, being an organizing secretary is only the beginning of good things to come.
Her number one role model is her dad whom she says is a great performer. "I want to follow his footsteps", she says.
